Good futuristic action movie exploring the future of cloning and human nature pertaining to it.

Rating: 7/10 (2 September 2008)

Good movie! Good story, even though there may have been a few gaps in the story... Very different story that was thought out in such a way that it seems like it may really happen some day. Sort of along the lines of The Matrix. Only, it mixes in some flavors previously explored by other movies (like Godsend), but others have only scratched the surface, where The Island, goes all the way! I liked that this movie portrayed the "evil side" of humans in that we want what we want, just as long as we don't have to face where it comes from. As quoted from the movie: "Just because people want to eat the burger doesn't mean they want to meet the cow." -McCord {Steve Buscemi} AND "All I know is, people will do anything to survive. I want to live and I don't care how." -Licoln Six-Echo {Ewan McGregor} Good acting. Ewan McGregor is maybe not one of may favorite actors, but I think he did a really good job in this movie, and the scenes where he had to play two parts were totally convincing and there was no hint that it was actually one person playing both roles. Scarlett Johansson did a good job with her role and brought a feminine and quite sexy appeal to the story. I don't really think she's sexy (just my personal opinion as dark hair is more my taste), but there were moments in the movie that made me go: "Ooooooooo..." I also think that she mixed well with Ewan to combine a really good co-sharing lead role relationship. I liked the futuristic elements of the movie. The way traffic will work with monorails running on the sides of buildings and flying motorbikes. Works well. It missed something, though... Like that feeling of "magic."
